So what have you done today..?

Had pizza but my girlfriend's daughter made me a huge Bakewell tart Andy

 

Happy belated birthday, Andy.

 

He'll probably run with the thinking of WHO cares if your the richest bastard on the planet.

 

I think you're right, but history has revealed that that approach always ends in tears.

 

The boardgame Snakes and ladders perhaps represents Life these days.

 

yes, I can see a link there

 

Rats and snakes are a No, No sir for me.

 

Later today meeting up with a friend and going to the David Hockney exhibition in town.
(With huge state-of-the-art projections and a revolutionary sound system, Bigger & Closer (not smaller & further away) invites you to experience the world through David Hockney’s eyes)

Dinner later at 20 Stories. Pub visits in between.

 

That should've read 20 pubs and many stories told on the way.!

 

Very good!
Hey how’s the stormy weather down your way this morning?

 

I'm just loving it, going down the coast today for two days so looking forward to the full impact from the sea.

 

It’ll be bracing for sure. Enjoy.

 

Yesterday but went out for the wife’s birthday, I can’t remember the last time I went out for a meal but £18 for a burger it probably won’t happen again for a while either.

 

Belated happy birthday to your wife, sadly the cost of eating out has risen sharply in recent months across the whole range of food and drink outlets. I recently got charged £14 for a bacon roll and a cup of coffee in a local “community run” cafe. Disgraceful Andy

 

Stop paying it then.
Im no tight arse by any means but I refuse to use my local fish and chip shop for the exact same reason and cant wait for the greedy twats to go out of business tbqhwy. £4 for chips and £12 for a few cubes of meet, a handful of salad and a pitta bread. £15 for a skinny bit of cod and chips. Absolute piss take, that's restaurant prices and they can blame the rent/price of cooking oil as much as they like but you wont see me paying for it.. (same as £1.50 for a litre of diesel when the place down the road is 10p cheaper)

 

I agree, I’m not tight either but when I feel like I’m getting ripped off I take the arse. We have also boycotted our local chippy because of rip off pricing and use one further out now. Problem in our town is they are so used to having all the festival goers trousers down that they think the locals will pay it too.

 

I’m now the owner of another stent

 

I just paid £5 for a bacon bap and a can of coke at Farnborough station. Did a double take, as I thought I’d been undercharged!
